The Dayton's Bluff union would have
had a session last night if quorum had
come together. They lacked three of the
necessary number, so. they resolved them
selves into an informal turnover club and
discussed various questions pertaining
mostly to council and legislation doings
The garnishee bill introduced by Represent

disapprobation, and one member remarked
that the laws of Minnesota were made to
help thieves and toughs beat honest men.
They unanimously denounced the proposed

a protest against this practice in cold

There seems to be but one intelligent

him TO recommend this early clipping, have
led to much suffering, and the permanent in
Jury of valuable horses. Much of the rheu-
nation so prevalent here among fine horses
is no doubt due to this practice.
This is based OH interviews with vetrinar-
ians on the question. and to substantiate
their arguments the officers quote from one
of the leading veterinarians OF the city in
shis strain:
In giving you my opinion of this compara-
lively new practice, j think 1t deviation
from nature. and believe that it rarely, if
ever, does any good. There may not be so
much perspiration clinging to the hair when
the horse is warmed by use, but the cooling
process is rendered too short, the chill being
sntense when the frosty air comes in mme-
diute contact with the heated skin. 1t is DUR

from the chilling and injurious effect of

horses which have to stand in the cold after

the young turnips in case of dry, hot
weather. At the same time, there. IS
sufficient manure in the soil to feed,
both crops and prevent the one from;
drawing too heavily from the other.
The experience of Mr.. Harris. has been
~of. such a character tas toarecommend
this plan to those who desire to try it.
Let us further suggest that too little
attention2is paid by our farmers and
gardeners to turnip culture. It is too
frequently the case that We careleessly
plant this crop without sufficient ma
nure to. make the seed sprpoou1t, if
sprouting depended upon fertilization !
We need not expect to gather boun-
tiful harvests continuously from any
land unless we feed the soil. There
is too great a tendency to try this ex-
pertinent, which has invariably proved
a failure. If we wish a horse to do
good work, we must feed him well.
If we desire u land to produce well,
we must likewise feed it well.
With the seasons which we are now
having the fault will be peculiarly our
own, if we do not have a most excel
lent turnlp crop.

DIR. DABNEY'S SUCCESSOR.

The position. of State Chemist,
created by the law establishing u
Department Of Agriculture, has ever
been justly regarded by our Board
and the peopleNas we'll, as one of the
highest Importance to the farmers of
the State. Our Board is to be com
mended fof the excellent judgment
and wisdom it displayed in the selec-
tion of such eminently qualified officers
as DR.. Ledoux. and DIR. Dabney.
Laborious, delicate and responsible as
were the duties devolving on the po-
sition, we believe they were met and
discharged by these gentlemen in a
manner that was entirely satisfactory
to our people.
But the duties were not confined to
the laboratory. They were important
and varied and required a fund of
general knowledge and administrative
tact and ability. We say, the Board
was fortunate in securing the services
of such able and efficient gentlemen
as the tive who have filed the posi-
ton with such distinguished ability.
Now that DIR. Dabney has accepted the
Presidency of the University of Ten
nessaoo and his s1lccossor ;c 70 10
chosen, we venture to submit a few
suggestions on this point. The Execu-
tive Committee Of the Board met in
this city on the 5th inst, and elected
Dr.. III. B. Battle first assistant chemist
to DIR. Dabney, to take charge Of the
Office at a salary of $3.50 per month,
until the regular meeting Of the Board

a~ 1t is with sincere regret that we
announce to our readers that North
Carolina is to lose the valuable services
of this distinguished gentleman. He
has been elected to the Presidency of
the University Of Tennessee and we
learn has accepted the position. We
a appreciate some of the reasons
which influenced his decision. The
salary was much larger than he was
receiving here, and he is offered just
the field for the exercise of his talents
which he has worked faithfully to
open up in our State. He is placed
in charge of elegant buildings, a mag
niicent farm, well stocked with pure
blooded horses, cattle, &C., and a COL
lege strongly endowed. It is designed
to be atfrst.caass agricultural and me-
chanical college, and we hazard moth
ing in predicting that under his man
agement,, and with the jealous and
enthusiastic spirit with which he will
take hold of this his favorite work,
and above all with the superior and
eminent qualifications which he will
bring to the task, that the day is not
far distant when Tennessee will boast
of one of the very foremost of all the
agricultural colleges in this country.
DIR. Dabney takes with him the high
esteem which his loyal and highly
efficient service inspired among our
people and their best wishes for his
uccess and happiness.

Knoxville Daily Tribune:

THE TIME TO PLANT POTA.
TOES.

The universal custom among our
people seems to be to plant Irish pc.
tatoes in February and March, for
early use, and in July and August for
late use. A little experience on the
part of the writer has caused him to
doubt the wisdom of this practice and
at least to suggest a change, or a fuller
experiment. The experience referred
to is this:
In the summer of 1886 l sowed
turnip seed on the square in which |
had raised a most bountiful crop Of
potatoes. There were a few Of the
potatoes which were left in the earth.
These came up with the turnips and
produced small potatoes which lay in
the ground all the winter. Early in
1887, when l began to turn over the
land, I found these potatoes sprouted
and beginning to, come up. Without
any special care, / left them. Nor
was any more attention given them,
save TO spare their lives while cult
waiting my early cabbage.
The soil was very highly MANFRED,
and of course, the potatoes shared
this. They soon outgrew, not only
the other vegetables in their vicinity,
but also the regular crop of potatoes
which I gave special attention. At
the usual time for potatoes to be used,
[ went to my regular "patch" for
them. There were plenty of medium
sized and small but none very large
to be found, though thorough search
was made.
Some days later, upon going to DIN
ner, / found a dish of tremendously
large potatoes, which caused an IN
quiry as to where they were obtained
Imagine my establishment when l was
informed that they had been gotten
from one of these "volunteer" vines
A like result was obtained from each
of these volunteers"
In conversing with Rev. DR.. balley'
Of the Biblical Recorder, a few days
later, I found that he had a similar
experience, one vine producing twelve
pototoes nearly as large as a mans
fist. These things have caused me "
think that possibly we might improve
upon Irish potato culture by changing
the time of planting. We shall pe
glad to have some of our farmers maSe
the experiment and give us the benen'
of their experience. We would sus,
gest the planting of small potatoes
from the first or middle of November
